Posted by Allen Smith in Politics, Safety, Talk Radio Show, Truck Driving Jobs, otr trucking, trucking on February 3rd, 2010
Blog Talk Radio is the largest social radio media in the world, pulling in 6 million listeners every day. Truth About Trucking “LIVE” is the premier trucking talk radio show on BTR. Launching in July, 2008 the show has obtained a global listening audience of 100,000 with a +/- of three percent.
As noted by Blog Talk Radio: “Your show is exactly the kind we look for . . . something totally different and separate from the main media stream.”
In association with our main website, Truth About Trucking, my goal from the very beginning was to not be just more talk, but to stand up and take viable action in “raising the standards of the trucking industry” and to provide real and valuable assistance to CDL students and new drivers entering into a trucking career. One way of doing this, is through our BTR show, Truth About Trucking “LIVE.”
We have scheduled further broadcasts for February, 2010 and would invite everyone to tune in and come join the conversation:

Is NAFTA Working or Not?
Posted by Allen Smith in Politics, Safety, Talk Radio Show on May 2nd, 2009
With lost U. S. jobs estimated as high as 25 million and companies and corporations moving to Mexico and Canada, is NAFTA working as it was promised to do so? When President George W. Bush signed the NAFTA agreement on December 17th, 1992 he stated that “NAFTA would be a catalyst for economic growth in the three countries.”
Yet, many of the other two countries Governmental offices and officials claim that NAFTA has, in fact, hurt their economical growth as well.
Mr. Obama vowed to reopen NAFTA and insure “labor, environmental and safety standards that are enforced.“ Now, it appears the decision has been made to not re-negotiate NAFTA policies and to leave it as is.
Trucking talk radio, Truth About Trucking “LIVE” invites you to join in on our upcoming show: NAFTA – Sunday, May 3rd, 2009 at 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time and let us know what you think?
Is NAFTA working or not?
